As I enter the gates for day 2 of Sacred Rose Fest, I immediately notice that the crowd showed up early and brought along all their friends. It is packed! I even see plenty of children running around wearing tie dye Goose shirts in anticipation for one of tonight’s headliners. These kids are way cooler than I ever was at their age.
I head over to The Canopy to catch the first part of The Disco Biscuits nearly 2 hour set. From the moment they stepped foot on stage, it was a non-stop dance and jam session. The bass was booming and the crowd was vibing.
I walk around and enjoy the installations, finally laying down on one of the various hammocks they have set up. While it feels nice to lay down, I’m in a position where the sun is directly in my eyes, so I head to the laser dome and see how the DJ set is going. The lasers are really fun! It’s a very chill vibe.
I catch the very funky Cory Wong, who I’m happily surprised has a brass band on stage with him. Cory’s smile was very infectious, I couldn’t help but dance around while he was on stage!
The very popular Umphrey’s McGee draws a huge crowd for both of their sets. People have been camped out all day waiting for this moment! Not only is their music incredibly down to earth and easy to mellow out to, their light display is almost as impressive as the laser dome.
I’ve heard from plenty of fans that Goose is a band to keep a close watch on. They’re currently on the rise and are anticipated to get even bigger. The crowd is chanting “GOOSE!” while we wait for them to take the stage. Goose exceeded all of the expectations I had. I enjoyed their music and their stage presence. This is a great way to spend a Saturday night.
